802 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

revenue approximating $150,000 and that this sum would be suffi
cient to cover approximately 50% of normal maintenance and:
repair expenditures throughout our system of educational institu
tions. The Board for Higher Education recommends therefore
That a charge of $25.00 per semester be assessed against
every student in residence in a synodical institution.
We recommend further

That the accumulation of such fees be classified in a new
and separate account on the books of the institution and that::
such income be used exclusively for maintenance and repair of
college buildings and for replacement of equipment.

We recommend further ,

That proposals for expenditures from this account be in-
cluded in the annual budgets and processed in accordance with
the provisions of Sections 6.145 and 6.146 of the Handbook.

We recommend further

That the Board for Higher Education be authorized, when
reviewing annual budgets (6.145 and 6.146), to transfer excess
funds from one institution to other institutions, if such excess
funds accumulate at a given institution.

We recommend further
That a fee of $12.50 per semester be charged to all non-
dormitory students.
_ We recommend further
That these fees be made effective by the institutions on and
after September 1, 1951.
We recommend further

That, as the new accounting system shows classifications
of cost, the institutions be held to make the routine operation
of auxiliary enterprises (including dormitory and dining rooms)
a self-financing procedure.

We recommend finally

That the Board for Higher Education be authorized and
directed to abolish or to adjust any or all of these fees ata
given institution if their application affects enrollment ad-
versely or if other local circumstances and conditions indicate
that such action is in the best interest of Synod. :

Music Fees
The Board for Higher Education recommends

That all music students who are enrolled in applied music
courses pay a fee of $5.00 per semester for Piano and $10.00 per
semester for organ use.

We recommend further

_ That these funds be reserved in a new and separate syn-
odical account for equipment and maintenance of musical in-
struments at the institutions involved.
